に小万夫婦の石碑がある。小万の夫は平八方の本家であったが、その家が断絶したため、別家の山田平八方で石碑を立てて祀っているのであろう。そして前記の俗謡の来歴を考えてみると、小万は伊勢国関の駅の遊女であったが、丹波亀山の家臣に与作という者があり、事情があって浪人となり零落して伊勢国亀山に住んでいた。どのような縁であろうか、遊女小万と深く契りを結び、小万は毎夜忍んで亀山にある与作のもとまで通ったという。こうして与作は主家へ帰参することが叶った折、ちょうどその頃三河国吉田駅坂下町に山田市郎右衛門という小間物商人がいて、仕入れのため京都へ往復する度に、かの小万の美しさに見惚れて通い詰めていた。与作が迎えて妻女にしようとしたのを断って、ついに市郎右衛門のために身請けされ、吉田に連れて来られ、家庭円満に家業に励み、享年六
十余歳で天和四年甲子六月三日に死去したという。
○悟真寺 豊橋関屋町にある。孤峰山浄業院と号し、浄土宗に属する。人皇五十九代後光厳帝の御子、貞治五年善忠上生上人寂翁和尚が将軍足利義詮に願って創建した所であるという。明治十一年十月、今上陛下御巡幸の際、当寺を行在所と定められた。

○龍拈寺 豊橋吉屋町にある。曹洞宗で郡中屈指の大寺院である。旧吉田藩主の崇敬が篤かったという。また手間町西光寺にあった観世左近太夫の墓を、いつの頃かこの境内に移した。

○別院 豊橋花園町にある。西竺山誓念寺と称し、真宗大谷派の別院である。当山は往昔真言宗で西竺寺と号していたが、天文甲午年に本願寺十世前大僧正証如上人の掛所となった。
○観世左近太夫の墓（暗殺）
豊橋吉屋町龍拈寺境内にある。考えてみると、観世左近太夫は元祖伊賀国服部氏の分かれで、南部春大明神の神楽役者衆となり、いつの頃からか京都近くに移り住んで雅楽謡曲の師となり、門弟も多くいた中で、遊女の容姿美麗な者に馴染んで妻としたが、この女はとても嫉妬深かったので、左近太夫も持て余し、遊女を振り捨てて都の
住居を夜逃げして吉田（豊橋）に来て、猿屋小路（中瀬古）に仮住まいした。そのうち謡曲の門人も数多くでき、何不足なく暮らしていたが、ある朝日が高くなるまでその門も蔀戸も開かないので、近隣の人々が怪しんで誰彼と立ち会って戸を推し開けて見ると、左近太夫は顔面から手足に至るまでひどく傷つけられて死んでいたので、人々はその不思議さを怪しみ、門弟たちは涙と共に埋葬したという。思うに、この頃は大阪と関東との不和合の最中で、謡曲師が殿中に往来して内通をなしたと言われるので、観世太夫の横死もまたそのためであろう。しかるに巷説によれば、左近太夫死去数日を経た後、思いがけずも妻であった遊女が尋ねて来て言うには、ある夜嫉妬の余り太夫を残酷な目に遭わせて非命の最期を遂げさせたと夢に見て、都に留まりかねて遥々尋ねて来たと告

there is a stone monument to the Koman couple. Koman's husband was from the main house of the Heihachi family, but since that house line ended, the branch family of Yamada Heihachi probably erected the stone monument and enshrines them. Considering the origin of the aforementioned folk songs, Koman was a courtesan at the Seki post station in Ise Province. There was a retainer named Yosaku in Tamba Kameyama who, due to certain circumstances, became a masterless samurai and fell into poverty, living in Ise Kameyama. Through some connection, he formed a deep bond with the courtesan Koman, and Koman would secretly visit Yosaku in Kameyama every night. Thus when Yosaku was able to return to serve his former lord, at that time there was a small goods merchant named Yamada Ichirō-emon in Sakagemachi of Yoshida station in Mikawa Province. Whenever he traveled to Kyoto for business, he would become infatuated with Koman's beauty and visit her regularly. When Yosaku wanted to take her as his wife, she refused, and was eventually redeemed by Ichirō-emon, brought to Yoshida, where she lived harmoniously with the family and worked diligently in the business, living to the age of sixty-
some years and dying on the third day of the sixth month of Tenna 4 (1684).
○Goshōji Temple: Located in Sekiya-machi, Toyohashi. It is called Kohozan Jōgyō-in and belongs to the Jōdo sect. It is said to have been founded in Jōji 5 (1366) when Zen'chū Jōshō Shōnin Jakuō Oshō, a prince of the 59th Emperor Kōgon, petitioned Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiakira for its establishment. In October of Meiji 11 (1878), when His Current Majesty made an imperial tour, this temple was designated as the temporary imperial residence.
Imperial Memorial Cold Season (from January 19th to 25th) - Sekine Chidō
Sharp cold威 intensifies at dawn / Pitying others' sandals adorning spring appearance
River clouds dark and gloomy, heaven about to snow / On the pillow, wind carries the imperial memorial bell
○Ryūneniji Temple: Located in Yoshiya-machi, Toyohashi. It belongs to the Sōtō Zen sect and is one of the foremost great temples in the district. The former lords of Yoshida domain held it in deep reverence. Also, the tomb of Kanze Sakon-dayū that was at Saikōji Temple in Tema-machi was moved to this temple grounds at some point.
Five Hundred Arhats - Sekine Chidō
Pine temple without dust, day naturally leisurely / Cool-seekers gone, between green shade
Clear wind, five hundred arhats / No need to seek immortals toward snowy mountains
○Branch Temple: Located in Hanazono-machi, Toyohashi. Called Seizanzan Seinenji, it is a branch temple of the Shinshū Ōtani sect. This temple was originally of the Shingon sect called Seizanji, but in Tenbun kinoe-uma year (1534) it became a subsidiary of the 10th head priest of Honganji, former Dai-Sōjō Shōnyo Shōnin.
○Tomb of Kanze Sakon-dayū (Assassination)
Located in the grounds of Ryūneniji Temple in Yoshiya-machi, Toyohashi. Considering this, Kanze Sakon-dayū was a branch of the original Iga Province Hattori clan, became one of the kagura performers for Nanbu Haru Daimyōjin, and at some point moved to live near Kyoto, becoming a teacher of court music and Noh chanting with many disciples. Among them, he became intimate with a courtesan of beautiful appearance and made her his wife, but this woman was extremely jealous, so Sakon-dayū found her troublesome and abandoned the courtesan, fleeing his residence in the capital by night to come to Yoshida (Toyohashi), where he took temporary residence in Saruya-kōji (Nakazeko). In time he acquired many students of Noh chanting and lived without want, but one morning when neither his gate nor shutters opened even after the sun rose high, the neighbors found this strange and gathered to push open the door, only to find Sakon-dayū severely wounded from his face to his hands and feet, lying dead. People wondered at this mystery, and his disciples buried him with tears. I think that at this time there was discord between Osaka and Kantō, and it was said that Noh teachers would go in and out of the palace and act as go-betweens, so Kanze-dayū's unnatural death was probably also for this reason. However, according to popular accounts, several days after Sakon-dayū's death, unexpectedly the courtesan who had been his wife came searching and said that one night in a jealous rage she had subjected the dayū to cruel treatment, causing his unnatural death, and having dreamed this, she could not remain in the capital and had come searching from far away, she confessed
